Hunter barged inside only to find a pool of blood in which dead bodies lay and to his relief, none of them belonged to his pack. Sheer silence echoed amidst the massacre. Rasmus' scent was thick in the air but he wasn't there. Hunter further walked inside and then to the second floor from where he was hearing grunts and cries. Panic surged in. Though he knew Rasmus won't go down so easily no matter how strong the enemy was, still he was worried sick for his brother. Hunter kicked open the door of the huge hall and in front of him stood Rasmus and a couple of warriors from the Moon pack while two men were tied with silver chains and they were kneeling on the floor. "Rasmus," Hunter breathed as if life came back to his soul. "Hunter," Rasmus' brow raised in surprise before his eyes followed the girl standing behind Hunter. "What are you doing here? Why is she here? It's not safe for Silvia," Rasmus said, walking over to them. Hunter noticed blotches of blood on his face a
"What about today? Why lie to Rasmus and get your men killed and tortured like this?" "Small sacrifices are important for big achievements," She said. "And also, now Rasmus trusts me even more." Of course, Rasmus would surely think she was helping him in getting close to Alonso but it was a part of the plan all along. "This is the first time I felt that you're being truthful," Hunter rasped, eyes still closed. Posture relaxed as he took in deep breaths, holding her hand firmly. Silvia did not attempt to free her hand though it was sweaty. "This is the first time I'm telling the truth," She said. "What's Alonso's plan?" "I'm afraid I can't reveal that," She said. "What would you get out of this?" He asked. "Peace," Was her quick response. Hunter let out a deep throaty chuckle as his chest vibrated lightly. His eyes opened slowly as he blinked once before straightening on the chair. He was just like the calm before the storm. They were in the middle of nowhere. An abandoned war
"Alpha, shall we choose on our own," The girl asked looking at Hunter hopefully. Hunter glanced at her before tilting his head. Permitting them. Everyone took in a breath of relief as the trainees scattered around to choose their sparring partners. "Wait," He said, holding his hand behind his back as he regarded them sternly. "Y'all have been training for months. So you must be aware of each other's strengths. I want you guys to challenge the strong contenders," Hunter said as sparks glinted in their eyes. Hunter saw as three of the guys walked in the same direction toward the tall brown-haired guy. "It's up to you how many challenges you want to accept or reject." Hunter continued, watching three fit and strong trainees challenging the brown-haired guy who accepted the challenge. A circle was made and the sparring started between two girls. Hunter watched with the rest of the trainees as he kept explaining their mistakes and good points for the others to learn. The brown-haire
Hunter punched the guy who groaned in pain. Blood dripped from his lips as he wheezed. "We don't know anything. You can kill us. Beating us would get you nowhere," The bruised guy breathed. One of his eyes was fully swollen while the other was red with tears. There was no one in the slammers. Hunter had asked the guards on the watch to step outside and leave him alone with these f*ckers. Hunter has asked Rasmus to let him interrogate Alonso's men that he captured from the warehouse. "Silvia planned all this. Didn't she? She would get you guys killed because of her so-called plan and you both are ready to die?" Hunter asked calmly, tilting his head. They refused to answer. "Fine. Don't answer me. Just tell me that you guys are ready to die for her," Hunter said, pulling out his phone as he began to make a video of them. "We work for Alonso," He said. "Of course, so Silvia ordered you to sacrifice your life for Alonso's plan," Hunter said. "We don't know who Silvia is,"
Silvia tried to stay calm as she kept her eyes locked with Emma. "Because Alonso couldn't get me back he is framing me. How did he know that I am here? He plans to get me killed." Silvia said as tears kissed her cheeks. "I'm a seer. He knows he can't use me now so he didn't want me to help you guys either," She enunciated in a trembling voice as her chin quivered. "There has to be a mole in this pack who informed Alonso that I'm here because then how would these guys know my whereabouts?" She wiped her tears. "Please, I'm being framed here. He didn't want me to help you guys." She said but Emma stayed quiet. Silvia turned towards Rasmus as she walked over to him. "Rasmus, you were interrogating those guys before Hunter and I showed up. Did they tell you anything then? Did they say all this? Did they attack you as if they were waiting for you or you took them off guard with a sudden attack?" Silvia asked hopefully looking up at Rasmus. "They were taken off guard by our sudden att
Silvia sighed deeply as she wiped the tears. She was gripping the basin tightly as her eyes stayed rooted to her reflection in the mirror. It was close. Hunter surely pulled a good trick on her. She handled it this time but she won't be able to do it every time. She noticed the trembling of her fingers as her eyes glossed up again. That dumbhead bastard almost ruined her plan. Everything would go down the drain if she was thrown out of the packhouse. Hazel eyes stared back at her through her reflection in the mirror. The dark circles under her dull eyes were prominent but then again she had lost all the charm and happiness when she was just a kid. The way her eyes would gleam a tune of their own was all lost and the remains were just scorching dunes lost in the vast canvas of a burning maze with no way out except for her to writhe in pain. Hunter quietly stepped into Silvia's room only to find the bed empty. He heard shuffling from the ensuite bathroom, walking inside he patientl
Hunter was looking for pieces of evidence against her for the past two days. He had asked one of his men to look into her past but he found nothing. The way he explained that the person named Silvia Macklin doesn't even exist left Hunter curious and on edge. His plan of framing her went down the drain and Alpha King tried to hurt Violet despite Hunter's deadly warning. Nothing was going as he planned. The only time he felt a bit relaxed was at the training barracks. He wanted to send Kevin to the kingdom as Violet's bodyguard but the kid wasn't that qualified yet. He may be an excellent fighter but a sharp mind was also needed in their world which he lacks and could attain after taking part in serious missions. Hunter got a call from an unknown number. His brows furrowed as he answered. The rumbling voice of the Alpha King left him startled. What got old man's pants to twist up like this? "I want you here right now," The king boomed. "And you think I'll take command," Hunte
Silvia stood there frozen like a block of ice. A chill ran down her spine causing a zap of current to engulf her. Fear wrapped its vicious clutches around her heart and she just couldn't move. Her eyes widened even more when he bit her lower lip hard enough to draw out blood making her wince. The back of her eyes stung with tears and she couldn't move even an inch. Her body locked up in response as she stood there like a robot. Hunter sucked the droplet of blood on her lower plump lip. The softness of her lips took him off guard as the intensity of the kiss softened. He squeezed her cheeks making her lips pucker out. He slid his tongue into her mouth caressing her tongue with his. She closed her eyes shut. Her hands were frozen on her sides. Hunter's free hand slid around her waist as he jerked her small fragile frame flushed to his chest. She gasped which he swallowed within the kiss. Letting go of her cheeks his fingers threaded into her locks as he grabbed a fist full of her
